I hit up the old ball field where I dug a walker half last time out and triple silver the time before that. I’ve pretty well gridded the basepaths at this point, but I did some cleanup and hit a Merc. Thinking the ball field itself was pretty much tapped out at this point (it’s given up 7 silvers), I swung around an old tree near some tennis courts and only picked up some clad. Then I noticed an ugly looking patch of grass between the tennis courts and road. I figured it could have been undisturbed ground like the ball diamond is, and sure enough the first signal was another Merc. This was encouraging, so I started going real slow and almost immediately hit 2 wheaties in a row. A few feet away from that, I hit 2 silver Roosies about 10 feet from each other. I needed to wrap it up, but I’ll definitely be going back to that spot.
Other notable finds were a pin that says “Boys & Girls Newspaper, Charter Subscriber,” which appears to be from the 1940s or so according to the little I could find online. I also pulled up what is exactly the same size as a nickel, but has almost no detail at all on it. It’s got some dirt stuck to it like glue that I’m going to try to get off and see if I can figure out what it is.
Apologies for the lack of in-situ pics.
